DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA



Language Awareness can be defined as explicit knowledge about language,
and conscious perception and sensitivity in language learning, language
teaching and language use.

 Can we become better language users or learners or teachers if we e.g. in
our relations with other people and/or cultures, and in our ability to see
through language that manipulates or discriminates? Language Awareness
interests also include learning more about what sorts of ideas about language
people normally operate with, and what effects these have on how they
conduct their everyday affairs: e.g. their professional dealings.

                                         FOUR SKILLS
CONCLUSION

On this unit it´s important that students get the information and show that they
use this structure correctly .I believe that us a teachers have to teach to
students how to use the language , let‟s remember that us are motivators as
well so we need to use all the tools as we can.

SELF-EVALUATION

When students answer something we can notice if the form that we were
using was correct , just look their faces ,if they don‟t have all the correct
information the look like a warriors in a hard road but in the other side if they
learn and understand everything they look like a fish in to water.

between their own culture and other cultures.


5. Conclusions


This unit motivates students to know each other better, and it also encourages
students to get to know someone else. This lesson also let the students think
about their culture manners and the verbal and non-verbal communication
signs that may be very different from ours. They will also understand the
importance of intercultural dialogue.


6. Self Evaluation


The objective for this lesson is to get the students culturally aware. The
material provided should appeal the interest of students and made them
aware of the importance of developing the necessary skills for intercultural
communication. However, it is important to keep in mind that for most
students this may be the first contact with a new language, so the teacher has
to have the ability to adapt to the student‟s pace and yet keep the teaching
going.

3.LANGUAGE LEARNING PROCESSES
DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA

Second-language acquisition or second-language learning is the process by
which people learn a second language. Second-language acquisition (often
abbreviated to SLA) also refers to the scientific discipline devoted to studying
that process. There are many different learning types and approaches to
learning. To learn effectively it is important to tailor your study habits to your
own needs and approach, this often means choosing techniques that work for
you and evaluating them from time to time to determine if you need to try
something new.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE

This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25,
12 women and 8 men. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week
(Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 6:00pm. This is a
motivated group, most of the students need the English language to apply for
good employments. 5 of the students are married and have children so this is
a motivating factor for them too.

                                CLOSING
CONCLUSION

Throughout the development of this lesson, students acquired knowledge of
the use of comparative and superlative adjectives by performing different
activities. The whole group was certainly motivated to learn because all the
material and activities applied on this lesson were focused on different
learning styles. So we as teachers must always have in mind that all our
students learn and processing information in different ways, If we are always
aware of that when planning, we will have better learning results indeed.



SELF-EVALUATION

I think it was a successful lesson because the main objectives were achieved.
Students were able to perform different activities and they were able to use
comparative and superlative adjectives in context. What I liked the most was
the opportunity I had to manage material for the different learning styles.

LESSON PLAN

e.g. 1 hour class

Warm-up                                 The teacher shows students some
                                        images and elicits adjectives from
                                        them. (5min)
Act. 1                                  The teacher asks some students to
                                        pass infront and asks the rest of the
                                        class some questions about their
                                        physical appearance. Eg. Who is taller
                                        Pepe or Mario?
                                        Then she encourages ss to use the
                                        following structure. Eg. Pepe is taller
                                        than Mario.
                                        The teacher keeps doing the same
                                        with different classmates.(15min)
Act. 2                                  The teacher explains the rules of the
                                        formation of comparative adjectives.
                                        (15min)
Act. 3                                  The teacher pastes some posters of
                                        different famous people on the board
                                        and asks ss to make comparisons
                                        among them.(15min)
Closing                                 The teacher throws a ball or balloon to
                                        someone in the class by the time she
                                        says an adjective.The student who
                                        catches the ball will have to say a
                                        comparative statement that fits for 2 of
                                        her/his classmates. Then the student
will have to throw the ball again and
                                                    the classmate who catches it will do
                                                    the same.(10min)

                          CLOSING
CONCLUSION:

By selecting and adapting different teaching methods and approaches it was
easier to fulfill the lesson‟s objectives. Through role-play and other activities
students had the opportunity to practice should and shouldn‟t and they were
able to use vocabulary related to ailments in context. Due to this experience I
consider it necessary to keep on track of new methods and teaching
strategies in order to provide students with the necessary tools for a second
language learning environment.



SELF-EVALUATION

It was a bit hard to choose the appropriate methods because I first had to
check students‟ background, however I was able to achieve my goals and I
think the lesson finally was a big succeeds because I was aware of everything
surrounding my class as for example, materials, instructions, error correction,
etc.

                             go to the dentist. At the end, the
                             teacher will show the flashcards again
                             but this time, she/he will elicit the
                             ailments and advices from students.

                             guess what the ailment is, afterwards
                             they will have to say the
                             corresponding advice to that ailment

                             different situations they will have to
                             role-play. Eg. STUDENT A: You have
                             a problem with your health. Tell
                             student B what‟s wrong with you and
                             ask him/her for advice.

                             he/she should or shouldn‟t do. Once
                             students have the activity ready, they
                             will present it to their classmates and
                             then the teacher is going to ask them

THE USE OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN‟T

       We use should and shouldn't to give advice or to talk about what we
       think is right or wrong.

       You should means something like I think it is a good idea for you to do
       it.

       You shouldn't means something like I think it is a bad idea for you to do
       it.

       Should is used to express the opinion of a speaker and often follows I
       think or I don't think.


Examples

You look tired. I think you should take a few days off.

Alice works very long hours. She should to talk to her boss.

- I have an English test tomorrow.
- I shouldn't worry if I were you. You have worked really hard.

- I never have enough money.
- I don't think you should go out so much.




Should - Quick Grammar Note

To give advice to someone you can also say:

       I should do it if I were you.
       I shouldn't be so rude, if I were you.

When you regret not doing something in the past, you can say:
I shouldn't have spoken to him like that.
        I should have apologized earlier

5.PLANNING AND EVALUATION
DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA

Planning an educational evaluation refers to a systematic and ongoing
process which includes:

-Researching and collecting information, from different sources, about the
learning process, the content, the methods, the context, the outcomes of an
educational activity.

-The establishment of certain criteria (evaluation criteria)
-The discernment and judgment of the analyzed information (according to the
set evaluation criteria and at the light of the educational objectives).

-Drawing conclusions and recommendations which allow the re-orientation
and eventual improvement of the educational activity”

Educational evaluation can help to change things and to plan “different
things”, but it can also help us to plan things better, in order to prevent
negative consequences and to compensate for possible shortcomings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE

In this course student have to communicate feelings , arguments , thinking ,
knowledge , ideas , reflexions ,opinions in all public areas like personal,
educational and occupational , resourcing and respectively in English
Language , the student has to be autonomous , the student has to understand
how to use daily expressions , greetings and interchange personal
information about daily routine and habits.

TOPIC
SIMPLE PRESENT
Spelling rules for 3rd person
Jobs and daily routine
What does your father do? (dialogue , comprehension reading
Grammar simple present (affirmative , negative and interrogative)
How often do you….? (speaking activity)


AIMS OF THE LESSON
Make autonomous students
Know the simple present form (affirmative, negative and interrogative)
The student will be able to interchange personal information about himself and
other person talking about daily routine and habits.
The student will be able to write a description from himself and other person
about daily routine and free-time activities.


PERSONAL AIMS

The main aim in this area is to evaluate students, with different types of
strategies, in all language skills using the CEFR as a reference to check how
well they can read, speak, write and understand the use and form for the
simple present; evaluate if they have achieved and acquired competences.
PROCEDURE

With the different evaluations methods this area evaluates the competencies:
knowledge, skills, attitudes, abilities and values gained, developed or
achieved during the educational activity.

   1- In the warm –up activity previous knowledge and students needs can
      be evaluated by asking or let them express orally.

   2- Vocabulary will be evaluated with a memory game.

   3- To evaluate listening, a short quiz with video will be used.

   4- In grammar structure, students have to create a presentation where
      they include and apply grammar to describe pictures and daily life
      activities.

   5- To evaluate speaking they will present their projects in class where
      they have to explain it.


   6- A final written exam will be used to evaluate grammar and writing skills.

   7- Students answer a short test to evaluate their performance and
      participation in the course.



CONCLUSIONS

On this unit it´s important that students get the information and show that they
use this structure correctly. We know that there are not golden rules” for the
development of a perfect educational evaluation.

We have to be creative to choose the correct strategies to use formative and
summative evaluations which can provide us real results about our students.

SELF EVAUATION

These questions can help to evaluate ourselves as teachers to realize if we
are doing a good job at the planning and evaluation moment.

Do I define the     aims    of    my   lesson?

Do I plan my lessons      including different evaluation techniques?

Do I use various   ways     of   conducing      a   course   evaluation?
Do I do needs analysis      and assess my             student‟s    language
competence according        to the CEFR?

Do I inform my students         on   language examinations         available to
them and advise them            on   the appropriate options       for them?

Do I help my   students    to    plan   further   learning    to    suit   their
needs?

6.- SELF--‐ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT.
1.- Description of the area:
This area includes Development of observation skills, dealing with feedback,
awareness of one's own strengths and weaknesses, awareness of
possibilities for further professional development and the resources and
sources of help.


2.- Description of class and course

In this course the students will be able to understand and use the simple
present, frequency adverbs and prepositions of time to talk about activities. In
this lesson students will talk about when things happen, they will learn to
describe weekday and weekend routines, also the habitual actions .


3.- Topic: Daily life.

        To motivate students, we need the students to realize that they can
apply what they practice in class, in a real life situation. If We can make this,
we can say that it is a successful lesson because the students will be more
interested in their activities and also they will show interest in their classmates‟
activities. Students will feel motivated when they share their interest with other
students.


4.- Aims of the lesson

-      Use prepositions of time correctly.
-      Talk about the frequency they do their activities
-      Students describe weekdays and weekend routines.
-      Talk about interesting activities

5.- Personal aims
I.     To promote learner autonomy.
II.    Know the simple present form.
III.   The students will be able to use prepositions of time correctly.
IV.    To receive feedback on my teaching performance
V.    To share ideas with colleagues to promote best practice
VI.   The student will be able to interchange personal information about
himself and other person talking about daily activities.




6.- Procedure

1-Before lesson begins, ask students to look at a picture.
- Ask what a routine is.
- Share their ideas.

2-Explain that students will hear a conversation.
Read the questions at the end of the conversation.
Play the recording again and check the answers with the class
3-Explain the frequency adverbs and prepositions of time

4-The teacher will show a pictures with some daily routine activities.( The students will
understand the prepositions of time, frequency adverbs and they will practice the
vocabulary (listen and repeat)
5-Students walk around the classroom and ask each person to tell them two interesting
things or unusual things they do each week
6-The students have to ask and answer questions about their activities with all their
classmates.
7-when students finish asking and answering questions around the classroom, ask for
the first volunteers out of several to share some interesting or unusual things they
learned about their classmates

8-The students will write examples from some interesting or unusual activities to help
them stimulate and increase their vocabulary.

5.- Conclusions
I think this lesson encouraged students to experiment with the language, to
use the previous vocabulary and grammar they learned. I consider that this
lesson was useful for them because it made them realize that there is a
purpose, that they can use it in a real life situation. The objective in general of
this course is that students realize that they can apply the language, the can
use the activities practiced in the classroom to interact outside the class.

6.- Self Evaluation
I try to do this lesson attractive , using slide in a language classroom, giving
students real life situations, encouraging and motivating the students to learn
and use the language and I also incorporate listening task and activities which
encourage and facilitate learner autonomy and interaction between the
integrant of the class. These activities take into account learners‟ learning
styles and cultural expectations. I also shared ideas with colleagues to
promote the improvement in our classrooms and students.

  • 3. 1.LANGUAGE AWARENESS DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA Language Awareness can be defined as explicit knowledge about language, and conscious perception and sensitivity in language learning, language teaching and language use. Can we become better language users or learners or teachers if we e.g. in our relations with other people and/or cultures, and in our ability to see through language that manipulates or discriminates? Language Awareness interests also include learning more about what sorts of ideas about language people normally operate with, and what effects these have on how they conduct their everyday affairs: e.g. their professional dealings. DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE In this course student have to communicate feelings , arguments , thinking , knowledge , ideas , reflexions ,opinions in all public areas like personal, educational and occupational , resourcing and respectively in English Language , the student has to be autonomous , the student has to understand how to use daily expressions , greetings and interchange personal information about daily routine and habits.

This lesson also let the students think about their culture manners and the verbal and non-verbal communication signs that may be very different from ours. They will also understand the importance of intercultural dialogue. 6. Self Evaluation The objective for this lesson is to get the students culturally aware. The material provided should appeal the interest of students and made them aware of the importance of developing the necessary skills for intercultural communication. However, it is important to keep in mind that for most students this may be the first contact with a new language, so the teacher has to have the ability to adapt to the student‟s pace and yet keep the teaching going. 7.

Second-language acquisition (often abbreviated to SLA) also refers to the scientific discipline devoted to studying that process. There are many different learning types and approaches to learning. To learn effectively it is important to tailor your study habits to your own needs and approach, this often means choosing techniques that work for you and evaluating them from time to time to determine if you need to try something new. DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25, 12 women and 8 men. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 6:00pm. This is a motivated group, most of the students need the English language to apply for good employments. 5 of the students are married and have children so this is a motivating factor for them too. TOPICS -Comparative Adjectives -Superlative Adjectives AIMS OF THE LESSON -To present and practice the comparative form of adjectives. -To present and practice the superlative form of adjectives.
  • 13. -To identify the differences in use between comparative and superlative adjectives. PERSONAL AIMS -To develop activities for different learning styles. -To make students use comparative adjectives in context. -To make students use superlative adjectives in context. -To encourage students to keep on practicing comparative and superlative adjectives. -To incorporate the 4 skills. PROCEDURE WARM - UP PRESENTATION OF COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES PRACTICE OF COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES PRODUCTION OF COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES IN CONTEXT PRESENTATION OF SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES PRACTICE OF SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES PRODUCTION OF SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES IN CONTEXT CLOSING
  • 14. CONCLUSION Throughout the development of this lesson, students acquired knowledge of the use of comparative and superlative adjectives by performing different activities. The whole group was certainly motivated to learn because all the material and activities applied on this lesson were focused on different learning styles. So we as teachers must always have in mind that all our students learn and processing information in different ways, If we are always aware of that when planning, we will have better learning results indeed. SELF-EVALUATION I think it was a successful lesson because the main objectives were achieved. Students were able to perform different activities and they were able to use comparative and superlative adjectives in context. What I liked the most was the opportunity I had to manage material for the different learning styles. LESSON PLAN e.g. 1 hour class Warm-up The teacher shows students some images and elicits adjectives from them. (5min) Act. 1 The teacher asks some students to pass infront and asks the rest of the class some questions about their physical appearance. Eg. Who is taller Pepe or Mario? Then she encourages ss to use the following structure. Eg. Pepe is taller than Mario. The teacher keeps doing the same with different classmates.(15min) Act. 2 The teacher explains the rules of the formation of comparative adjectives. (15min) Act. 3 The teacher pastes some posters of different famous people on the board and asks ss to make comparisons among them.(15min) Closing The teacher throws a ball or balloon to someone in the class by the time she says an adjective.The student who catches the ball will have to say a comparative statement that fits for 2 of her/his classmates. Then the student

  • 32. 4.LANGUAGE TEACHING DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA Language teaching is the practice and theory of learning and teaching a language, it is also important to mention that Language Teaching process is the facilitation of learning, in which you can "teach" a foreign language successfully if, among other things, you know something about learns or fails to learn a second language. There are many methods and approaches for teaching a second language but the use of them depends on our students‟ needs and objectives. DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS AND COURSE: This is an A2 course. There are 20 students between the ages of 18 and 25. They meet for class 1 hour three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) from 5:00 to 7:00pm. This is a motivated group; most of the students need the English language to apply for good employments. 5 of the students are married and have children so this is a motivating factor for them too. TOPICS: -The verb should (for giving advice) -Ailments AIMS OF THE LESSON: -To present and practice the verb “should” “shouldn‟t to ask for and give advice. -To present and practice vocabulary related to ailments. -To recognize the correct use of should or shouldn‟t according to the situation. PERSONAL AIMS: -To plan activities which can provide students the opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom to real life experiences.
  • 33. -To create a positive learning environment by the use of different methods and approaches. -To enhance students participation through simulation and role-play. - To integrate the four skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking) in the lesson. -To make students learn and use the verb should (or shouldn‟t) to ask for and give advice. -To make students learn and use vocabulary related to ailments in context. PROCEDURE: WARM - UP PRESENTATION OF VOCABULARY RELATED TO AILMENTS PRACTICE OF VOCABULARY RELATED TO AILMENTS PRODUCTION OF VOCABULARY RELATED TO AILMENTS PRESENTATION OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T PRACTICE OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T PRODUCTION OF SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T CLOSING
  • 34. CONCLUSION: By selecting and adapting different teaching methods and approaches it was easier to fulfill the lesson‟s objectives. Through role-play and other activities students had the opportunity to practice should and shouldn‟t and they were able to use vocabulary related to ailments in context. Due to this experience I consider it necessary to keep on track of new methods and teaching strategies in order to provide students with the necessary tools for a second language learning environment. SELF-EVALUATION It was a bit hard to choose the appropriate methods because I first had to check students‟ background, however I was able to achieve my goals and I think the lesson finally was a big succeeds because I was aware of everything surrounding my class as for example, materials, instructions, error correction, etc.
